Ah. You probably shouldn't have done that, unless you know for a fact that YOU screwed the ssh config up beyond all hope of recovery. Usually, you just sit with the same problem anyway, or make it worse by removing the configs that still work > Yet, the situation didn't change. > > Here's what happening: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ssh -vvv DAU > > OpenSSH_4.7p1-hpn12v19, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 > debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config > debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 > debug1: Connecting to DAU [192.168.2.4] port 22. > debug1: Connection established. > debug1: identity file /home/dsl/.ssh/identity type -1 > debug1: identity file /home/dsl/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 > debug1: identity file /home/dsl/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 > ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > tail /var/log/messages > > [...] > Feb 15 19:20:30 DAU sshd[6269]: refused connect from NOTE.xxx > (192.168.2.2) It's not a firewall, xinetd, tcpwrappers or denyhost problem :-) Your connection attempt was received by sshd which denied it. The information you gave is inadequate to answer your question, because I don't know how long a piece of string is. Post the complete contents of /etc/sshd/sshd_config on DAU and we can probably tell you why though -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
